Imagine that. A hundred and eighty five THOUSAND miles in that… that’s a skinflint though and through there. The type of person that gets 4 days out of a pair of pants. Freezes half opened tins of beans.

recently the heater matrix went so had to get a new radiator which ment cutting the interior dash to get to it a pure nightmare of a job heating now working again this car will pass another mot i have no doubts whatsoever anyway selling cheap because of the dashboard at the footwell had to be cut but i have put a piece of tape on it to cover it or you could go to scrappies or ebay and buy the plastic dashboard and replace yourself

I'm seriously tempted and dread to think what will happen if it's still for sale in the morning! 

I've had numerous 306s and my first was an N-reg D Turbo. It was my first turbo diesel and it felt like a rocket at the time compared to what I'd had before! 

It had the Bosch fuel pump so I used to run it on pretty much anything other than diesel. Used to do upwards of 500 miles a week in it!

They had a huge following in Northern Ireland and most of the 1.9TDs I had ended up going over there!

Sorry @MrGTI6, this is too long out of action for me. I know the mint green Corsa didn't move much each year but at least it did move a bit..

Just reading through the MOT history, I managed 26k in the last year I had it! In the end it got written off at the bottom of Wrotham Hill in several inches of snow. I managed to stop at the roundabout at the bottom of the hill and the driver of the Focus behind didn't. It still got me home!

At one point, I bought this red one from BCA for £50 (nearer £100 after fees). The photo was taken in the BCA car park on the day I bought it. Originally it was intended as a spares/parts car for the blue one, but I immediately realised it was too good for that. It went straight through an MOT and after a quick machine polish I sold it to a lad who came all the way down from Northern Ireland. I picked him up from Gatwick, he dropped me home, and then drove it to Liverpool, got the ferry to Dublin, then drove it to Belfast. Remarkably, it's still showing as taxed and tested all these years later!

The EML is on but have been told by the previous owner that this is because of the cat, it was removed and replaced with an after market one apparently a mechanic said it’s all good.

I know it's fucked, but it's £300. Surely worth more in parts.

Very few Peugeots of that era here in Bulgaria so I wonder if the terrible road here just finished off through rear axles....

Odd thing is that there are plenty of things like Lagunas (Laguni?) around which are seen to be unreliable on here...

A Facebook friend has this for sale on behalf of someone, 1.2 petrol with MoT until January, £500. 283k on the clock!

Looking at the MoT history, it racked up 110k between October 2008 and October 2011 and then wasn't tested again until December 2016.
